Interesting that all the articles are from a site named after ACTS 17:11. Remember, in Acts 17:11 the Thessalonans searched only the Old Testament and not the New Testament or the Bible as we know it. The NT had not yet been written and the Bible was hundreds of years from being selected and bound.
Was the Old Testament the sole authority for the first few decades of the Christian Church?
How did Christians practice sola scriptura without a scriptura?
I assume a lot by the comments. Well, the early church had the Bibe before 100 A.D. It was called the OT. Jesus Christ quoted from them. The NT was finished by 100 A.D. NT works like the OLd Latin and the Syria Peshitta existed before 393 A.D. So, the Bible existed for a long time.
The OT was the main work for the early Church. There is nothing wrong with that because the OT is a foundation in order to follow the new covenant. Today, we have both testaments as the SOla Scriptura. Sola Scriptura means Scriptures alone in determining our doctrines supremely, not only using the Scriptures in our reading guides or our literature collection.
Sorry ,whether you like or not, for thousands of years God's people always had a Scriptura. It's really annoying to heard the same arguments about people denying the perservation of GOd's Words.

I assume you might be a Roman Catholic.
